Planner Matchmaking: Episode 3
If your purse has three notebooks, your desk has five more, and none of them have the thing you need when you need it, hello friend. Diane Shiffer (aptly coined "the internet's nana") came to us in the exact same boat. She wanted to stop forgetting appointments, keep track of her book launch, and finally give all her lists a real home. We created a planner system that keeps everything together and actually fun to use. If your current system is chaos with a side of chaos, let this inspire your glow up...
Perfection and decorating slowed her down and created pressure
Her notes and ideas were scattered across multiple notebooks
She needs her lists visible at all times so her brain feels supported
Planner Matchmaking: Episode 2
If you’re trying to find the best planner layout to manage a busy life, Alma’s story might sound familiar. She came to us overwhelmed by the many roles she juggles - volunteer work, a part-time job, seminary studies, parenting, and housework. Even though she already used a planner consistently with daily task lists and project dashboards, she still struggled with accountability and procrastination. Initially, she was using the Nancy layout and doing fairly well with it, so we assumed that moving her into a larger Nancy planner with more note space would solve her problem. But something still wasn’t clicking...
Overwhelmed by responsibilities
Struggles with accountability and procrastination
Current layout wasn’t aligned with how her brain visualizes the week
Planner Matchmaking: Episode 4
We recently had a planner matchmaking session with Julia, a brand-new mom who’s navigating a full season of change - a home remodel, part-time work as a speech therapist, staying active, and maintaining a tidy home - all while caring for her one-year-old daughter. With a few dedicated childcare hours each day and most tasks happening alongside her baby, Julia needed a planning system that supports focus without adding visual overwhelm.
Feels like her system is falling apart
Loves having lists, but needs more structure
In an "in between" season of life
